Is it possible that your isp (syr.edu?) has a limit on size of incoming
email and this post is big enough to trigger it?

Is it possible that your isp (syr.edu?) is filtering incoming mail and
not permitting zip files as likely virus carriers?

If either of these is the case, can you get it from another email
account?  Hotmail?  Gmail?
